Antennaria friesiana, or Fries' pussytoes, is an Arctic species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is the northern reaches of Asia and North America (Russia , Alaska, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut, Quebec, Labrador, and Greenland). Many of the populations lack male (staminate) flowers and reproduce asexually.[2][3][4][5]
Classification of this and related species is still a subject of discussion, but The Plant List maintained by Kew Botanic Gardens in London recognizes four subspecies:
- Antennaria friesiana subsp. alaskana (Malte) Hultén – Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories
- Antennaria friesiana subsp. beringensis V.V.Petrovsky – Russian Far East[6]
- Antennaria friesiana subsp. friesiana – most of species range
- Antennaria friesiana subsp. neoalaskana (A.E.Porsild) R.J.Bayer & Stebbins – Brooks Range in Alaska; Richardson Mountains + MacKenzie Mountains in Canada
